District Governor’s Advisory Committee

This committee serves in an advisory and administrative capacity from the zone to the district governor and the cabinet. It is composed of:

·        A zone chairman (as chairman of the committee).

·        Presidents and secretaries of clubs within the zone.

The duties of the District Governor’s Advisory Committee are:

·        To hold at least three regularly scheduled meetings during the fiscal year.

·        To assist the zone chairman to have every club within the zone operating efficiently.

·        To promote attendance from the clubs in the zone at the annual district, multiple district and international conventions.

·        To assist the zone chairman in promoting attendance during charter nights within the zone.

·        To plan and discuss zone projects.

·        To discuss ways of assisting weak and status quo clubs.

·        To cooperate with the zone chairman in promoting various functions for the clubs in the zone such as inter-club meetings, special functions observing district governor month, installing of club officers, induction of new members, and ceremonies honoring Key members and participating in sport tournaments, banquets and celebrations.

The Advisory Committee meetings present the ideal occasion during which the zone chairman can promote and encourage unity among clubs. It also provides an opportunity to exchange ideas about club operations and to solve problems, if any.

At least three meetings of the District Governor’s Advisory Committee are held during the year.

·        The first is held within ninety (90) days after the international convention. The general condition of all clubs within the zone and the International Program is discussed. Leadership development must be planned.

·        The second meeting is held in November. General plans are formulated to promote the general welfare of the clubs and Lionism throughout the zone.

·        The third meeting is held in February or March. The condition of the clubs within the zone are reviewed and progress of the plans for the general welfare of the clubs are discussed.

·        It is suggested that the fourth meeting be held approximately thirty days prior to the district or multiple district convention. It can be an occasion to honor a present or past district officer. Suggestions can be offered as to how clubs can have at least their full quotas of delegates at the annual district, multiple district and international conventions.
